2025 turned out to be a disappointing year for Telugu cinema. As the year is about to end, here’s presenting a box office analysis of the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu movies at the box office.  They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, topped the charts and emerged as the biggest grosser this year. The action drama, directed by Sujeeth, stormed over Rs. 219 crore in India and Rs. 283 crore at the worldwide box office.

Year Ender 2025: Top 10 Tamil Movies of 2025 at Worldwide Box Office: Coolie rules, Good Bad Ugly follows

2025 remained an average year for Tamil cinema. As the year ends, here is an analysis of the top 10 highest-grossing Tamil movies. The biggest grosser from Kollywood is Rajinikanth starrer Coolie, which stormed over Rs. 500 crore gross at the worldwide box office. Still, the Thalaivar-Lokesh Kanagaraj movie underperformed and couldn’t match its sky-high pre-release buzz and hype.  Ajith Kumar had two releases this year- Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly. While the former couldn’t hit the right chords with the audience, the latter emerged as a big success. Other than Coolie and Good Bad Ugly, no other star-led movie could perform well at the box office. The Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, turned out to be a big misfire. Suriya’s Retro and Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi also recorded dull and average theatrical runs, respectively.  Kollywood box office definitely missed Thalapathy Vijay, who had no release in 2025. His last film, Jana Nayagan, is scheduled to set the theaters ablaze on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal festival.  Apart from the bigwigs, …

Year ender 2025 | Paatal Lok, The Family Man, and the triumph of returning seasons: How Indian OTT got franchise right

OTT’s beginnings in India were heralded by YouTube, led by independent creative platforms that created what we today would call microdramas. These shows, largely single-season outings, laid the foundation for the OTT boom in India. Think Pitchers or Tripling or even Permanent Roommates. Then Netflix and Amazon Prime Video arrived in India, and it all exploded. But even as shows began returning with seasons 2, 3, and 4, there were often complaints that quality was diminishing each time. Paatal Lok season 2 saw Jaideep Ahlawat returns as Inspector Hathiram Chaudhary in what was widely called a stellar second season. There was the infamous Sacred Games season 2, for instance, which many felt was a sharp enough dip to end arguably the best web series in India. The sustenance of quality in shows like Made in Heaven, Delhi Crime, Gullak, or The Family Man occurred much later. And it was almost always seen as an aberration. But 2025 came as a breath of fresh air here. It provided viewers with multiple returning shows, almost all of …

Year ender 2025 | Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Kapoor & Coldplay: Viral entertainment moments that defined India’s meme culture

Entertainment has stopped being something people merely watch and has become something they participate in. A film scene, a song lyric, or even a few awkward seconds on a concert screen could instantly turn into a meme, a reel trend, or a cultural reference point. Indian cinema and shows were at the heart of this shift, producing some of the year’s most dominant viral moments, while global pop culture fed the same ecosystem. Indian meme pages thrived on evolving trends from dance clips to cultural references, driven by films like Dhurandhar and Coldplay kiss- cam sacndal Dhurandhar: Life as a spy One of the biggest contributors was the Bollywood action film Dhurandhar, which became a meme factory almost overnight. Ranveer Singh’s entry sequence sparked the wildly popular ‘First Day as a Spy’ trend, where creators humorously imagined Indian spies failing missions due to desi habits. Clips were endlessly remixed with jokes, voiceovers, and reaction edits, turning espionage into satire. Alongside this, the film’s music and visuals found a second life online, spreading far beyond traditional …
